5250 21st Ave Sacramento, CA 95820

Built in 1937 and rooted in the heart of Colonial Heights, this home holds history and invites you to keep writing the next chapter. California native landscaping and cheerful window boxes welcome you in, where refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and graceful curved archways create warmth and flow. The dining room's original built-in hutch is a beautiful reminder that preserving character matters, while the kitchen blends charm and everyday function. The primary bedroom (large enough to fit a king size bed!) connects through French doors to a separate bedroom (complete with triple pane windows) making it the perfect space for an office, nursery, or library. A space to create, recharge, and dream big. A vintage deep soaking tub offers a place to slow down. A third bedroom adds flexibility for guests or gathering. Indoor laundry leads to a sunroom overlooking the backyard, filled with light and possibility and finished with a warm natural wood plank ceiling. Above it all, a spacious attic with windows sparks imagination; add dormers and envision future bedrooms, baths, or a bright upstairs retreat. Recent improvements include a 5-year HVAC system, dual pane windows, newer water heater, updated electrical panel, EV charger plug, roof (partial) and a 2-year home warranty. Outside, a lemon tree, raised garden beds, fire pit, and detached garage create space for connection. There's even a spot on the side of the house for a mini playground or garden potting shed. Located across from the Colonial Heights Library, home to a beloved seed library and children's story time, and just minutes from the delicious Forgotten Bakery (bagels and empanadas), Root 64, a one-acre urban farmstead growing food for the neighborhood, and Community Shop Class, a nonprofit learning center and makerspace offering workshops, youth classes, and hands-on creative space. This is more than a house. It's community.
